Yesterdaywe receivedKievski S.-D. ListokNo. 1, datedNovember30 (sic!), through an outsider. It is simply a
scandal that our Iskrists always lag behind! Why didn’t Zarin
send us this leaflet in time? Why hasn’t he written a single
word about this undertaking? We implore Zarin to link
us up directly with some member of the Committee,
someone who is conscientious and mobile and who knows
everything that is going on. Every leaflet (whoever issues
it) must be sent immediately to two different addresses in
two copies, one in an envelope, another wrapped up in a
Russian newspaper. Then we must immediately be given
contact withVakar. We are very much afraid that the Kiev
Iskrists, owing to their inactivity and onlooker attitude,
will suffer the same fate as that of the St. Petersburg
Iskrists. Not a word either about receipt anddistribution(N.B.) of the literature! This is a desperate situation!
